Only in Japan: The Burger King Windows 7 Whopper

What has seven patties and a corporate sponsorship? This enormous Windows 7 burger.

BY CHRIS GAYLORD

America may be the home of the corporate tie-in and super-sized fast food. But Japan may have just outdone the US in both fields.

In honor of Microsoft’s new Windows 7 operating system, Burger King has served up a seven-patty burger. This mighty monolith of meat, more than five inches tall, will only be available for seven days – and only in Japan.

But if you feast upon one for breakfast, you’d best avoid food for the rest of the day. The Whopper packs in about 2,100 calories – more than you should eat in an entire day, according to the FDA.

Talk about bloatware!

[rabscuttle385]

For LOLz.

Too much meat ruins a good burger. For me, the upper limit is 1/3 pound. That, in my opinion, is perfection.

Does it come with Aero Shake?

...will only be available for seven days.

Probably because it violates copyright?

>>Does it come with Aero Shake?<<

They have shakes made out of Aero bars?

[netmilsmom]

Sorry, I just looked that up.

VERY clever of you!

I’m not much of a burger sort...BUT none I’ve had beat Jack-in-the-Box’s Bacon Cheese Sirloin Burger—with purple onion and Swiss cheese.

(In memory of Hee Haw’s Grandpa Jones...”UUUUUMMMM...UUMM!”

[mysterio]

That does sound pretty good. I haven't ever had Jack in the Box (because of the region where I live.) There are several regional chains like that I would love to try, however.

My current favorite is the Angus Deluxe (at McDonalds.)



I don't claim to have a discriminating palate, but were calories no object, I would have one of those several times a week.

[bannie]

oooooo.....real MEAT!

:-)

Where does Jack NOT have an “office”???

[mysterio]

Parts of the Midwest. There isn’t one in my state.

[bannie]

In spite of being fat, fast foods aren't my particular area of expertise, but you should have access to That Burger.

[goldstategop]

Seven patties on a bun... bring along along a hearty appetite!

I remember BK's failed foray into the Japanese market back in the '90s, evidently they've made a comeback. Tasted must better than Mah-koo-doh-nah-roo-doh (McDonald's).

[KarlInOhio]

That much fat and meat? I think I would get the BSOD (and BS isn't for Blue Screen).

[Dallas59]

Might as well eat an entire cow.

Nothing east of the Mississippi, apparently, except NC, SC, TN, LA, ILL; Nothing in the upper midwest.

And I’d give their website at C at best. They need to get some decent web designers who know how to deliver content, not glitz.

No JitB in Alaska

[gogogodzilla]

Dude, I doubt anyone could eat that thing in one sitting...

[libertarian27]

Angus Burgers are real good - so is this from BK - I need to stay away....but they beckon me.....
